Polishing the Compass

I specifically target trout because it gives me an excuse to create adventures. Because all at once it allows me to feel like a kid and like a capable adult.

It gives me a reason to triple check my compass route, or to even own a compass for that matter. It gives purpose to my aimless wandering. A reason to check my maps, calculate distances between un-named roads that are just as likely to wind up ending at an old fallen down bridge or taper off to a squirrel trail as they are to lead anywhere of consequence.

It affords me the opportunity to not have a destination...to not know where I am going, but more importantly, not to care.

What's the point?

Chasing contentment and chasing trout. I'm not sure why I fish. Sometimes I think it's to escape life, at other times to find it. Maybe it's around that next bend, maybe the bottom of this hole, the end of this run, or beyond that riffle...
